Rotherham’s survival hopes to take a hit at Brentford

Rotherham’s survival hopes to take a hit at Brentford
5064

One of the few issues left undecided in the English Championship this season is who will suffer relegation to League One.

Technically none of the teams in the bottom has suffered relegation, although Wycombe’s poor goal difference has all but consigned them to life in the third tier.

One of the teams still looking to escape the drop zone is 22nd place Rotherham, who head into Tuesday night’s away game at Brentford, four points adrift of 21st place Derby County.

However, the Yorkshire team has two games in hand on all the teams around them.

The problem for Paul Warne’s team is that they head into this clash in poor form, as they have lost their last four matches in the Championship. The Millers have also failed to score in six of their last eight outings in the second tier of English football.

The visitors have a poor recent away record in the Championship, as they have won just two of their last seven league matches on their travels. That record includes failing to win in three matches on their travels in the Championship.

The Bees have already sealed a place in the Championship play-offs for a second straight season. Thomas Frank’s team head into this game on the back of a nine-game unbeaten run in the league.

The big problem for Brentford was that six of those nine matches ended in draws. The draws prevented them from going up automatically.

They have enjoyed a very good defensive record of late, as the home team has conceded just once in their last five league outings.

However, on the flip side, the Bees have also failed to score in three of their previous five matches in the Championship.

Forebet predicts that Brentford will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to dent Rotherham’s hopes of Championship survival.
